Is it really Kasparov?
There's a misterious account on the playchess server which has everyone wondering: is it Kasparov?
He uses the nick "Raffael" and nobody knows for sure who it is. Well, maybe some of the people at chessbase do know, but they're not telling:
Oh yes, Garry has a nick called "Garry Kasparov", which he uses for special events. Whether he has a second account he uses to play regular games on the Playchess server? Now that will have to be kept a secret.
Yasser Seirawan has said: "Everyone is saying that he is Kasparov, but I really don't know".
Other people claim he's Kramnik and others still say he's Svidler.
Here's a game that he played a few minutes ago. Judge for yourself.:
Heimi92 (2969) - Raffael (3316) [b80]
